Linux supports numerous file system types Ext2: This is like UNIX file system. It has the concepts of blocks, inodes and directories. Ext3: It is ext2 filesystem enhanced with journalling capabilities. Journalling allows fast file system recovery. Supports POSIX ACL (Access Control Lists). Isofs (iso9660): Used by CDROM file system. Sysfs: It is a ram-based filesystem initially based on ramfs. It is use to exporting kernel objects so that end user can use it easily. Procfs: The proc file system acts as an interface to internal data structures in the kernel. It can be used to obtain information about the system and to change certain kernel parameters at runtime using sysctl command. For example you can find out cpuinfo with following command:

How to get kernel info kernelversion ls /boot

ls -a - (all) shows user config files .bash_history .gnome - desktop environment ls -l - use a long listing command su - switch to the administrator accound cd / - very top directory cd bin - here are situated the most common commands .bashrc - contains aliases (should run after modification -> source .bashrc )

pwd (Print Working Directory) cp - copy rm -i file.txt - ask YES/NO mv - move cd .. rmdir mkdir Text editors emacs; vi - 3 modes command (insert) exec mode (write file, quit) edit mode press ESC to go to the command mode В редакторе vi есть два основных режима: командный режим и режим вставки . По умолчанию, работа начинается в командном режиме. В режиме вставки клавиатура используется для набора текста. Для выхода в командный режим используется клавиша Esc или комбинация Ctrl + c . В командном режиме алфавитные клавиши соответствуют командам перемещения и изменения текста. Команды h , j , k , l перемещают курсор на одну позицию влево, вниз, вверх, вправо соответственно, команда x удаляет один символ и т. д. Для полнотекстовых операций имеется возможность задавать команды ex в подобии командной строки, например, :1,.s/wiki/[[wiki]]/g заключит все вхождения последовательности символов wiki от начала текста до текущей позиции в двойные квадратные скобки.
